Not. Even. One.
Nah, the Dems voted in a FICA tax cut a few years back.

the GOP didn't like it, though, and raised the FICA taxes again.

but I'm real glad that all these foreign companies are getting tax breaks. Maybe people can get a job down at the BMW factory in Spartanburg.

That's a humorous pipe-dream fantasy.

What we will remember in Nov. 2018 is how much better Nov. 2017 was, and even more so how much better Novembers were continuing back in time. "It ain't getting any better Bub", and even brain-dead zombies roaming this country will eventually realize that.

Yeah I predict 1 year from now, the only congressionally-driven difference in my life will be that the Republicans will have jacked up my future social security retirement age.

You didn't need tax cut legislation to fulfill your agenda...

I sincerely hope you keep on believing that.
